Trany slips in second and 3rd and is automatic what do you think is wrong

Your saying not enought power to go over 3rd gear or when it hit 3rd gear it goes in neutral if it slip when you hit 3rd one most likely that burn clutch in your trany clutch on automatic trany are many little disc together let me no about it

Check trans fluid with engine running - if low, top off. If fluid level is fine then try changing the transmission filter located inside the transmission pan. You may also have an issue with dirty trans fluid - if it is not pinkish but brown then have a transmission power flush done, then change filter.

check the oil level of the transmission
that transmission does have an overdrive relay
that relay may be faulty

get the transmission serviced and if found in bad condition
cheapest fix is
source a good used automatic transmission and have that fitted in


cost of a full rebuild on these transmission is more than the volvo is worth
its a lot of km./miles
sounds like the third /overdrive part of the transmission
is slipping or worn

Check the TV (throttle valve) cable, if that's out of adjustment the trany will think you want passing gear. Try disconnecting the cable at the carburator, that should make it shift into high gear at about 25 MPH and stay in high until you slow down. If it fails to stay in high gear then you have major problem. Are there a lot of miles on it? Are you sure you have enough fluid in it? Does the fluid smell burned. It might be just worn out. Good luck!

Either the fluid is low or you have a clogged trany filter or are starting to loose your transmition.If it is just low on fliud you will ruin your trany if you keep driving it with this condition.Check your fluid level with the engine running and if it is low fill it to the full line and test drive.

either ur torque converter isnt geting fluid or one of the valve bodys in blocked and not gettin fluid through thats what im thinking, or could be ur linkage needs adjustin ya . derrick

belt inside trany is slipping rebuild or replace trany

no you have a failed transmission on your hands, it is slipping.

Check the fluid while the engine is on in park..
If fluid is not low - it could be a vacume or modulator issue.. (the modular tells the trani when to shift via vacume presure)
Some shops give free estimates.

I have a 2002 Mazda Protege automatic, I has been slipping more so when it is warm up. No engine light detectedand it starts up fine. Just when I am riding it tends to jump in and out of gear. Last check, we were told that the trand oil level were fine. Can you tell me what may be the problem.
